Five Years Up I Reveal I'm The Richest He Kneels And Begs novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

After several days of “recovery” and “preparations,” the Sloane’s formal matchmaking gala was

held once again in grand fashion.

The venue was upgraded to the ballroom of the Sloane Group’s most luxurious seven–star hotel, with security tightened several times over and the guest list even more strictly filtered.

Adrian, still weak after his high fever had subsided and barely able to stand, defied his family’s pleas and had his friends drag him to the event.

His face was pale, dark shadows under his eyes, his figure noticeably thinner.

The once poised and proud man had been replaced by someone hollow–eyed, paranoid, and

broken.

His gaze locked on the woman seated at the center of the hall–radiant, composed, effortlessly

conversing with elites from all fields.

His heart felt like it was burning over open flames, scorched repeatedly.

Jealousy and despair nearly devoured him.

He watched as other men surrounded her, presenting lavish gifts, showing off their talents, and

even playing piano pieces on the spot for her.

She, though still calm and reserved, would occasionally nod or offer a polite smile.

Every small interaction was a needle in Adrian’s heart.

Over and over again, he wanted to rush forward, to drag her away from that stage, to scream at everyone that she was his.

But the guards flanking her had sharp eyes and colder presence.

The moment he so much as twitched, they locked onto him–ready to escort him out without

hesitation.

Then came the gift presentation.

Adrian took a deep breath and stepped forward, holding a velvet box that contained a legendary diamond set known as the “Moonlight Goddess.”

He had emptied nearly half his private vault to obtain it, hoping this stunning gift might earn him even a sliver of forgiveness.

“Sien… Miss Sloane,” his voice cracked, hoarse with pleading, “this is for you…”

Sienna didn’t even glance at the box in his hands.

She merely nodded to the assistant beside her.

The assistant stepped forward with a blank expression, received the box without emotion, recorded it like any other item, and then placed it atop the growing mountain of untouched gifts.

No special treatment.

Nothing to show it mattered more than the rest.

Adrian’s heart plummeted. His fingertips trembled.

At that moment, Sienna’s eyes slowly swept across the hall.

Finally, they landed on a ghost–pale figure trying desperately to shrink into the crowd–Celeste

had somehow slipped in.

Sienna’s lips curved slightly, coldly.

Her voice, carried through the microphone, echoed clearly across the ballroom.

“Tonight’s banquet is filled with esteemed guests. But before we proceed, there’s something that

needs to be cleared up, because I won’t let anyone here be misled any further.”

The moment she finished, the ballroom’s massive screen lit up.

A clear audio recording played through the speakers. The exact words Celeste had spat at Sienna in

the restroom during the auction.

“I’ve slept with Adrian countless times! I gave him a son and a daughter!”

“The Prescotts never saw you as worthy! They forced him to have heirs with me!”

“In his heart, you, Sienna Sloane is just a kept little pet–never meant to be a wife or mother. He’d only marry someone like me, someone who’s actually his equal!”

Each sentence was crystal clear. It was cruel and venomous.

Gasps filled the room.

All eyes shot toward Celeste, whose face had turned bloodless.

“No! It’s fake! It’s a setup!” she screamed, trying to rush the stage.

But the screen switched again–this time showing surveillance footage.

It captured Celeste slapping herself across the face… and then instantly breaking into tears, pretending to be the victim.

The angle was perfect.

The footage irrefutable.

The truth was revealed.
